Liquid petroleum products - Separation and characterisation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from middle distillates - Liquid chromatography (LC)/gas chromatography (GC) method

This European Standard specifies a method for the separation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from middle distillate fuel by liquid chromatography (LC) and for quantitative determination of the individual esters by gas chromatography (GC).
This method is applicable to FAME of vegetable or animal origin that contain methyl esters between C14 to C24. These FAME are mainly composed of C16 - C18 fatty acids. This method is applicable whatever the origin of the middle distillate fuel.
This test method has been evaluated for the separation and characterisation of FAME present at up to 5 % (V/V) in middle distillate fuel.
NOTE   For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms "% (m/m)" and "% (V/V)" are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.

Flüssige Mineralölerzeugnisse - Trennung und Bestimmung von Fettsäure-Methylestern (FAME) aus Mitteldestillaten - Flüssigchromatographie (LC)/Gaschromatographie (GC)

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Trennung von Fettsäure-Methylestern (FAME) aus Mitteldestillaten durch Flüssigchromatographie (LC) sowie zur quantitativen Bestimmung der einzelnen Ester durch Gaschromatographie (GC) fest.
Dieses Verfahren ist unabhängig von der Herkunft des Mitteldestillates anwendbar auf FAME pflanzlichen oder tierischen Ursprungs, welche Fettsäure-Methylester mit Kettenlängen zwischen C18 und C24 enthalten. Diese Fettsäure-Methylester sind hauptsächlich aus zwischen C16- bis C18-Fettsäuren aufgebaut.
Das Verfahren ist geeignet zur Trennung und Bestimmung von bis zu 5 %(V/V) FAME aus Mitteldestillat.
ANMERKUNG   Für den Zweck dieser Europäischen Norm dürfen die Symbole % (V/V) bzw. % (m/m) verwendet werden, um Volumenanteile in % bzw. Massenanteile in % auszudrücken.

Produits pétroliers liquides - Séparation et caractérisation des esters méthyliques d'acides gras (EMAG) dans les distillats moyens - Méthode par chromatographie liquide (CL) et chromatographie en phase gazeuse (CPG)

La présente Norme européenne prescrit une méthode pour la séparation des esters méthyliques d'acides gras (EMAG) dans les distillats moyens utilisés comme combustibles, par chromatographie liquide (CL), et pour le dosage des esters individuels par chromatographie en phase gazeuse (CG).
Cette méthode est applicable aux EMAG d'origine végétale ou animale qui contiennent des esters méthyliques entre C14 et C24. Ces EMAG sont principalement composés d'esters en C16 - C18 d'acides gras. Cette méthode est applicable quelle que soit l'origine du distillat moyen.
Cette méthode a été évaluée pour la séparation et la caractérisation d'EMAG présents jusqu'à 5 % (V/V) dans les distillats moyens.
NOTE   Pour les besoins de la présente Norme européenne, les termes « % (m/m) » et « % (V/V) » sont utilisés pour représenter respectivement les fractions massiques et les fractions volumiques.
